Here are some tips to avoid getting taken by a scam artist: - If you don’t know the person, don’t send them money using the Friends & Family option, because PayPal can’t do anything to get it back. - If you are in the US and get a warning that PayPal is charging you a fee for sending money outside the US to a different country, don’t do it. - If the seller has an id that doesn’t match the name they gave you. As an example, suppose they say it was james welch, but then it shows as isaae nyamweya or similar in paypal... maybe don’t do the transaction.
